The best rate for RM8K will be at Affin Bank 12 months 3.6%

Or if you got RM10K, then go for OCBC promotion 3 months at 3.3%

Yes, just did tried a month back,insaint708. You have worries putting your money to Affin Bank ?

Haha dont worry AUD is strong. I transferred all my RM savings into AUD at the beginning of the financial crisis at the rate of 1AUD=RM2.2, now it's RM 3.2 for an aussie dollar (gained almost RM20k on aussie dollar appreciation). 

Advert in the Star today

Effective rate 3.3% only. 1st 2 months 3.1 , 3rd
month 3.7%  Minimal is 20k

Can't do it online through eFD but have to open on their branch.

Promotion will stop once Maybank got their target  RM 1 billion deposit.

there is a terms and condition for this  promotion, they told me min 20k for this promotion rate.

forgot to mention UOB 9 mth is 3.6%

UOB Merdeka Promotion
3 mo. 3.45%
6 mo. 3.6%

Just dropped by Hong Leong today to confirm the above.

its valid till Nov 30 2011.

Minimum 10K, Non Flexi account.

i saw it in newspaper.
3month 3.45%
9month 3.6%
12month 3.8%p.a
min 10k.

open a junior flexi FD yesterday. Very bad and slow service. Waited for half hour and another half hour opening account. Why cant they let the customer service counter help to process the application of account to shorten the queuing time. Very unproductive way of work processing. Logical work scheduling is parallel processing or divide up the processing jobs to free up counter staff work load.

Another bad point is HL bank staff does not know their own products well. One said need the junior to be around to open junior FD, one said 55 yrs old or above for senior flexi FD, the fact is no need presence of junior and 50 yrs old can open senior account.

Senior flexi FD is 3.8% per year but you must open a current account

How u put FD if u hv 10006 ?

10006 1 shot ?

rate
3/100 x 30 / 365

Do put 5003 so u get interest 12.34/month

if u put 10006 u only get 24.67/month

that is 5k

u will see the significant amount if u repeat it.

which bank now has the highest fd rate which doesn't impose a huge chunk of money that you have to invest in ?

How much interest for Affin?

Yes, we can only get this 5% promotion rate by opening a Standard & Chartered Bank saving account in between
1 October 2011 and 31 October 2011. Depending on how soon we can open the account with Standard & Chartered Bank.
5% interest will calculate the average deposit fund on daily basis until 31 December 2011.

Interest will calculate in between the date we put money in and the date we make withdrawal anytime during 1 October 2011 until 31 December 2011 (calculate 5% interest rate p.a. on daily basis).
But bear in mind that 5%% interest will only pay in 3 working days after 31 December 2011.

Minimum placement is RM 3K to maintain the account (will pay 5% interest on it)
Maximum placement is RM 500K per account
